Title: Dummy Load Post by zeke on 11/01/17 at 13:10:38 I very well may be the dummy here but I have a question: So I live in an apartment & am building amps. Burning in an amp for 100+ hours is difficult because I would have to listen to it (as would my wife). So my question is, can I just put 2 8 ohm 25 watt resistors across the output& let it rip 24/7. In the world I’m coming from, amateur radio, this is known as a dummy load & is used when tuning a radio to keep it off the air. What do u think?.... |
